/b /Batchmode |
Batch-mode, only outputs TRUE or FALSE. Cannot be used with /d |
/d /Debugmode |
Debug-mode, logs additional output. Cannot be used with /b |
|
|
/e /uac |
Only outputs "TRUE" if app is running inside an elevated shell (use with /b) |
/f /ForceDomain |
Always check the domain's Administrators group (instead of local Administrators group) |
/q /NoQuickCheck |
Disables a quick check which evaluates the security token of the current process instead of enumerating security groups. Quick check only works if the process is elevated. |
<USERNAME> |

Example 2: Checks if the currently logged on user is a member of the domain's administrator group
isadmin /f /d
